    Have you looked at PureMVC at all? I've found PureMVC is a much nicer architecture than Cairngorm - in particlar Cairngorm has some architectural hacks that kind of violate basic software principles (i.e. they use their singletons like gigantic global variable pits, and then end up tightly coupling everything to your model locator) - PureMVC isn't perfect either, but it's a lot nicer in my experience.

    You might also want to take a peek at the Prana project - which is basically a port of Java's Spring Framework to Actionscript (I heard a rumor that it will soon be picked up as an official Spring Source project - which will be a big deal) - but what it does is it gives you a nice XML file you can use to configure and wire together all of your objects - which makes certain use cases like swapping in delegates that serve static data for quick serverless testing or having it use real delegats - as simple as tweaking a few lines in the XML file and the complied swf doesn't care either way.

    Yeah, I've looked at PureMVC a lot more lately. I have been telling people to get into Cairngorm as their first micro architecture as it is used by Adobe Consulting and is universally more used in enterprise settings. SilvaFUG did a comparison and found PureMVC overall better, but that you should still learn Cairngorm - http://puremvc.org/content/view/43/98/
    I'll have to look into the Prana project. Sounds really interesting.
